Most of the stores I visit are just now stocking Wave 2 DCUGL figures (Sodam Yat, Skallox/Nite Lik, Medphyll/Nautkeloi, etc.), and some of them are still flooded with Wave 1 DCU figures, especially Manhunter.

Outside of eBay, Wave 17 should start showing up en masse over the next 4-8 weeks as Wave 1 & 2 DCUGL stock dwindles.

At least hopefully, right?

One can only hope. Personally I'm skipping wave # 17 with the exception of Scarecrow. Wave # 18 is a must have for my collection and then its on to Batman: Legacy. I heard wave # 19 is JSA themed and wave # 20 is more Blackest Night figures. Another two waves I'll be skipping almost entirely. Also, what's up with the SDCC exclusives this year from Mattel one year ago exactly they announced them and in a previous Q and A Toy Guru did say that the exclusives would be revealed in April.
